MONITOR TABLE
I needed a sturdy table for a massive plasma monitor and workstation computer in the Concept Visualization Studio. I also needed two dozen student worktables for the adjacent innovation space at Lakeview Hall. Available tooling was a design constraint.
A medium size laser cutter in the prototyping lab accepted 24 by 18 inch sheets of thin plywood or composite material. By laminating the arches, cross braces, and junction brackets, I can create ready-to-assemble (RTA) table kits that also need aluminum tubing and a countertop from a home center.
Concept visualization and rapid prototyping encourage iterative product design and engineering. Like a spandrel arch bridge, my table supports heavy loads, yet it's made economically in small shops with compact CNC machines. Coming soon are containerized robotic microfactories generating just-in-time furniture for schools.
